Artisan Bread

Holy smokes guys. I just made artisan bread and it was so good! It was crispy and crackly on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. And it was easy too! Add a little butter and my mouth was in heaven. 

I got this recipe from a cute gal in my ward and I sorta expected it not to turn out because good bakery quality bread can be so hard to make. But this was super easy!
